Yes, 60% (around 450) board at Tonbridge but it includes weekly boarders.
Personally, I wouldn't choose Brighton College. It has a high number of mainland chinese students (that is the reason why the results are so good recently). It's a matter of being super selective at admission, rather than necessarily added value by the school. It is a big school (1,100+ students) but only 30% board (including weekly boarding) so it would not be what I would consider a traditional English boarding experience.
If you are just looking for a school that would get you good results and into a good university (and don't care too much about boarding experience) you are better off going for the Oxford International Colleges, or the Cardiff sixth form colleges or the Concord Colleges or you could try for Brighton College at year 12.
If on the other hand, you are looking for a genuine English Boarding Experience for your son, and you don't mind co-ed, there are really a lot of choices. You could try my alma mater, Rugby School. You could try Charterhouse, Oundle, Shrewsbury, Uppingham, Repton, Bromsgrove etc. Some people like Epsom and Caterham. You have to be prepared to look beyond just results and rankings. To be honest, there will be students that get into Oxbridge and Russell Group universities in ALL of these schools, there will be those that drop out. There will be good teachers and bad teachers. And the results only reflect the past year's cohort. It is really down more to the student than the school. If you are prepared to think like that, then look for the right boarding experience for your son.
If he is sporty, Wellington College or even Cheltenham College. If he is musically inclined, Wells Cathedral, King's School Canterbury, etc.
Really there are a lot of choices but you need to list out some criteria yourself (with your son), decide what's important and then look for the right schools.
